v2 v3 7 7 In this FAQ, you'll see screenshots of a few of different Drupal sites, but I'll always use "<em>www.example.org</em>" in this text. The first thing you have to do to manage content on most Drupal sites is log in. (You could set a site up so that anyone can edit it without even logging in, but we haven't seen any May First/People Link users intetrested in that approach.) 8 8 9 * Logging In 9 === Logging In ==== 10 10 11 Some sites, like May First/People Link, offer a login box in the sidebar of the home page or on every page, but some choose to mask it a bit. Either way, you can always reach a login screen by going appending the word "user" to your Drupal URL: http://www.example.com/user 11 12 … … 38 39 [[Image(edit_drupal3.png)]] 39 40 40 Anonymous users are exactly that: anyone visiting the site. You'll notice, as you look through the access control page, that you have the option to prohibit anonymous users from viewing <i>any</i>content. Some folks use drupal as an internal system for sharing content, rather than a public web page.41 Anonymous users are exactly that: anyone visiting the site. You'll notice, as you look through the access control page, that you have the option to prohibit anonymous users from viewing '''any''' content. Some folks use drupal as an internal system for sharing content, rather than a public web page. 41 42 42 43 Authenticated users are visitors that have created an account and logged into the site. Depending upon whether or not you've given anonymous users permission to create new accounts, an authenticated user could be just about anyone. Don't want strangers creating content on your site? Out of the box, Drupal won't let them. You'd have to check off "create book pages" or "create stories" to grant anonymous or authenticated users that kind of permission. … … 47 48 48 49 If you're logged in and you think you should have permission to edit a node or page, but don't see the edit tab, there is another puzzling thing that might be going on. Drupal uses input formats to allow site administrators to prevent users from breaking the site or inserting malicious code and scripts. If a page was created in an "input format" that you don't have permission to use, you won't be able to edit it. If you've looked everywhere else and can't figure out why a page isn't available for editing, you might try asking your site administrator whether this is perhaps due to an input format conflict. 50 51 -- 52 53 If you've got more questions about how to edit or manage your drupal site, just ask!
